Greetings,

When I set up my FreeBSD box (2.1.5) I had installed the perl5 port 
that came on the CD rom.  The only problem now is that when I do a 
'perl -v', the system tells me that I am running Perl v4.0.

There seems to be a /usr/share/perl (perl4) directory and a
/usr/local/lib/perl5 (Perl5 ?).

There is a perl executable in /usr/bin

How do I set it up so that I am running perl5 as my default?  I am 
new to unix, so step by step explantions would be appreciated :)

Anil
